Navigator prestigio geovision 5400 technical description.

Prestigio is a very dynamically developing company; without a bit of exaggeration, we can say that the company is one of the leading manufacturers of very stylish digital gadgets and accessories. On the Russian market, the company is represented largely by car GPS navigators. Prestigio GeoVision GV5400 is one of them. The model is quite popular, so you should focus on it and consider it in more detail.

The Prestigio 5400 navigator is a modern device with excellent performance indicators. In terms of technical characteristics, these are: the dual-core SiRF Atlas V, dual-core, ARM11 CPU with a clock frequency of 533 MHz works quickly and stably, without allowing any delays in work. RAM – 128 MB, built-in memory capacity is 4 GB, it is possible to expand it using microSD or microSDHC memory cards, by the way, it is recommended to do this right away, the built-in memory is simply not enough, since much less of the 4 GB of declared internal memory is available to the user . And considering the fact that the Prestigio GeoVision 5400 has a pretty good player (audio and video), the internal memory will definitely not be superfluous. The navigator reads most formats, there should be no problems with playback.

Overall dimensions of prestigio 5400 – 134x82x14 mm, weight – 160 grams. The body is made of black plastic with an aluminum frame. The thickness of only 14 mm, the black navigator looks very stylish. The plastic case has a coating - rubber coating, it is not a soft touch, but it also feels like rubber to the touch and is quite pleasant for the hands. Built-in antenna.

Screen 5 inches (True Color TFT) with a resolution of 480 by 272 pixels. This is not to say that the resolution is amazing, but the picture looks quite passable, although if you look closely at the screen, you can still see the graininess, but still, this is a car navigator, not a tablet or smartphone, so we won’t find fault too much. And it’s not all that bad—several hours of reading text on a screen won’t tire your eyes. The screen is equipped with an automatic brightness adjustment sensor. To be honest, the brightness reserve is not always enough. The screen is difficult to read under bright sunlight. The touchscreen sometimes becomes dull, but there is nothing you can do here - the screen is resistive.

The Prestigio 5400 package includes: charger, USB cable, stylus, SMART MOUNT car mount, case, CD with Active sync, etc. You can immediately throw the stylus to the side - it scratches the screen. In general, the lack of a protective coating for the screen is a drawback, since it is very easy to scratch the display of this navigator, so it is recommended that after purchasing the navigator, you immediately purchase and glue a protective film to the screen. The car mount looks somehow unreliable, and when driving on an uneven road it starts to “play”, and this is a little annoying, but I must admit that although our roads are bad, they are not that bad, and we still don’t drive on dirt roads that often and we don’t move around that much, so you just need to get used to the fastening. The case is very good quality and looks very prestigious, but some owners claim that it is not included. Of course, it sounds strange, but strange things happen sometimes. But the cover must be included!

Prestigio GeoVision 5400 uses NAVITEL as navigation software. Navitel has both fans and haters, but the fact that the program has worldwide recognition is undeniable. A user who purchases a GeoVision 5400 navigator receives the right to free map updates for two years from the date of purchase of the navigator. This is a nice moment. Based on user reviews, you can understand that the navigator is calm about installing third-party maps and works with them correctly.
There is an intuitive search for addresses, history of memorizing routes, intelligent zooming, voice prompts, warnings about traffic police cameras, 3D mode, and advanced route planning. A nice little thing is that if you select the “bus” driving mode, then when navigating your way into the city, the navigator will automatically lead you to the bus station. We can’t say that this is a useful feature for most drivers, but the thoughtfulness to the smallest detail is worth noting and thanking the developers for this. The navigator searches for satellites very well and quickly.
The rechargeable battery lasts for 3-4 hours of autonomous operation of the navigator, but the model is primarily an automobile one, so it’s not worth focusing too much on the batteries.

All this pleasure costs about 2500-3500 rubles. The Prestigio GeoVision 5400 definitely justifies its price. The model is not even a year old yet, so you can count on a slight price reduction over time, although the price is not at all exorbitant to put off the purchase.

We continue to consider budget models of car navigators and next in line we have the Prestigio GeoVision 5400. Its cost is extremely low, about 2800-3500 rubles. For this money it is quite possible to buy a high-quality navigator that will cope with its direct responsibilities perfectly. So, what are the features of the 5400 and what can it do?

Internal filling of the navigator and equipment:

A 5-inch touch screen is the most optimal size for many car enthusiasts, if you take it larger - 7 inches, then it will obscure the view (when placed on the windshield), if you take it at 4.3 inches - it seems too small, and it’s also difficult to touch with your fingers by buttons on the screen. Therefore, 5″ is, in my opinion, the optimal screen size for a navigator; it also consumes less energy if you use the navigator not only in the car. The resolution is standard for five-inch cameras - 480 by 272 pixels.

The internal filling differs little from similar Prestigio models, the same processor frequency is five hundred megahertz, RAM is 128 MB, internal memory is 4 gigabytes, which is enough to download music, “light” movies, as well as photos and other software. By the way, many stores where you can buy this navigator model sell it with licensed software from Navitel, with a bonus update for 2 years. It’s worth noting that Navitelov’s software is very good, there are a lot of positive reviews about their cards. It is better to immediately update the map on the official Navitel website.

If you wish, you can change the standard flash drive to a card with a larger capacity - people even installed 16 GB, everything worked perfectly. Imagine how much music and movies you can load onto such a large flash drive.

Charging - car and from a computer (using a USB cable). I note that sometimes the computer has difficulty identifying the navigator when connected, but everything is no problem.

What else can a navigator do?

All the necessary functions, without which the navigator is already a navigator, are present - you can create routes, set points to remember important places (relevant for hunters, fishermen and mushroom pickers), track the route of movement, find detours (when you get stuck in a traffic jam).

The multimedia component is more like a bonus to an already good device. You can watch videos, listen to music (and at the same time as Navitel is working, which is important). Still, the screen resolution is small for viewing high-quality video. But it’s quite suitable for the background; those sitting in the back can enjoy watching movies. Of course, sometimes you have to switch to Navitel so as not to go somewhere you shouldn’t)) This is what the video player in the navigator looks like.

In addition to movies and music, you can listen to the radio thanks to the built-in FM module (model 5400 BTFM). Not all navigators have this feature. That is, it turns out that the 5400 is a universal model, by installing it in the car, you can throw out both the radio and the LSD TV :) You can watch and listen to all this on the navigator. Of course, this is a joke, as I already said, the playback quality is not so great. As an addition.

Well, one more necessary feature is the blue ace (for the 5400 BTFM model). With its help, you can connect to your mobile phone, access the Internet via a gprs connection and download traffic jams (for example, use the Yandex Traffic jams service). Relevant for residents of large cities, where traffic jams are a common occurrence. Although most residents of megacities can easily afford to buy a car navigator with a built-in gprs module, such as the . Well, our simple prestigio 5400, with the help of blue ace, can do the same thing, saving its owner a significant amount of money.

Advantages of the navigator:

1. It copes with its direct responsibilities perfectly - it catches satellites quickly, doesn’t dull it, everything works very quickly (thanks to a powerful processor and a large amount of RAM). The built-in Windows operating system simplifies the management and development of the navigator.

2. Quite a long battery life - the battery lasts about 4 hours. Not bad.

3. Additional bonuses - you can watch videos, listen to music and radio.

Navigator and equipment shortcomings:

1. The first thing you should do immediately when purchasing a navigator is to purchase a protective film for the screen. Because the screen is very scratched by the stylus. Therefore, immediately buy film for the screen.

In addition to flawless navigation, the GV5400 has a full-fledged media player, e-book reader and various games. For convenience, the devices come with a stylus. The navigator is equipped with the latest version of NAVITEL software, which is even more intuitive and attractive interface.

I've only been using it for two months! So far so good! Quickly turns on and configures! If you turn off the automatic brightness control, the screen is very bright! Maps are updated very easily! I installed a 16GB memory card! Uploaded a bunch of photos and videos! Works without problems

An excellent navigator: it catches satellites at once, navigates them, shows the speed and remaining distance. Music, video - though I haven't played them yet.

Disadvantage compared to the old one - it is impossible to move the map with your finger to see when you are driving along the route
- original auto-charging is bad!!!

I bought it while on vacation in Stary Oskol, then went to Volgograd. but since the central roads are in very poor condition, I drove along the secondary ones. laid out the route in parts. I took it to small towns a couple of times, although there was a bypass and it was set to “fast” in the program. I changed it to “short” - also through the city. a couple of times he demanded to turn onto a dirt road in small settlements. but these are the shortcomings of Navitel. The touchscreen sometimes gets dull, there's nothing you can do about it, it's resistive.

It glares in the sun (remove the auto backlight), set it to 100%, it will get better. The stylus scratches the screen (buy a protective film). Well, Navitel sometimes leads only the path it knows, so you also need to brush your head, like your teeth.

In the Navigator, menu scrolling is done at the very edge of the screen, and there all touch screens have poor sensitivity.

It will be better if you immediately stick a protective film on the new one! Not every format can display videos and photos on full screen! The stylus is practically not needed! I didn’t immediately find where I could look at the photo and read the text! No cover included! For some reason the software disk is empty
